ONE DRESS FOR ALL OCCA-
SIONS

1t would simplify matters wonderfully
should the women of America adopt an
ancient custom observed in Holland,
where it is the ambition of every Dutch
lady Of high degree to possess a black
lace dress. This is carefully worn and
lasts life time, in many cases being
handed down from one generation to an
other. The singular feature of this GUS
tom is that, no matter what the style of
the dress, whether of ancient OF modern
fashioning, it is perfectly correct to don
it upon whatever occasion Of; state or
social entertainment the owner may de-
sire to appear therein. Indeed, no lady's
wardrobe is considered complete without
this dress, which is made all Id one piece
The lady for whom the garment is to be
fashioned, having expressed her prefer
ence in the matter, patterns are drawn and
given to the lacemekers, who then set to
work and make it according to directions
without single seam. Such dress is,
of course, expensive at the outset, but
once secured is most economical, mas
much as it is elegant, and no matter how
frequently worn, is always in good taste
and admired by the company Baltimore
american.

HE MET MACAULAY,

Not long ago was talking with an old
gentleman who has for years been in the
iron business as commission merchant
in a Western city, who early in his ca
reer went to England to make a study of
manufacture IN connection with visit
for pleasure.
"One day" he said, 81 went to Lon
don book store to find certain book on
metallurgy could not find in America,
and while there pleasant old gentleman
came in and began looking around pretty
much as was doing. We came together
presently, and soon were chatting pleas
antly on books and other matters, and
told him who was and what was seek.
ing. He told me he knew the work, and
though it was rare, thought we might
find it, and at once began search
through the back shelves and out of-the-
way corners, and finally came up smiling
from a dark place with book in his
hands. 1 thanked him and, taking the
book to the dealer, ordered it laid
aside, and at the same time ordered the
late numbers of Macaulay's works. which
were appearing in parts, and some of
which 1 had brought to America. told
my new friend that in my estimation
MacaIlay was the greatest English writ
or, and that had read everything he had
written, as far as 1 knew. He smiled
pleasantly, and after few moments
further conversation, we parted, with the
hope of meeting again. The next MORN
ing left London for York and when 1
had settled myself in the compartment
assigned me found my travelling COM
panion to be the old gentleman / had met
in the book store the day previously. L
was glad to see him, and told him was
bound for York and he said he was go-
ing there too. This pleased me and l
settled down for a good talk, for he was
exceeding entertaining and thoroughly
the gentleman. We made no stops for
some time, and when we did 1 noticed
large crowd at the station.
"'There must be some distinguished
person aboard the train, said, and
these people are here to see him.
POSSIBLY he answered, with smile
like he gave me the day before among
the books. and we continued our talk.
at the next station there was a larger
crowd, and getting outside, asked what
was going on, and some one told me Lord
Macaulay was on the train. I went back
to report to my friend.
"Lord Macaulsy is on the train,'
said; that's what brings the people out,
and I'd give a good deal to see him my
self He smiled again. Il am Lord Ma

"Any one who has suddenly lost the
sight of one eye or the hearing OF an ear
can fully appreciate this fact. When
such person desires to take hold of or
pick up small object, pin, for instance,
he will most frequently over-reach it or
fall short of it, and he will wonder why
this should be the case. The explanation
is very simple, and is based upon the
same principle that enables surveyor to
run off base line, and, by measuring the
angles made by vision to distant, per-
haps inaccessible, point, tell the exact
distance to that point In ordinary Wis
ion the base line is the distance between
the eyes. The eyes being directed to-
ward point, vision proceeds in direct
line from each, the lines crossing each
other at the point looked at, thus making
triangulation, as it were, the base of
which is the distance between the GEN.
tiers of vision in each eye. The calcula-
ton of distances is to q certain extent
reflex mental action; but to certain
extent only, since it is faculty which
can be cultivated to very high degree.
The reason why two ears are neces-
sary is much more obvious to the casual
observer of natural phenomena. Sound
travels by waves radiating from central
point Of disturbance, like the wavelets
caused by dropping a pebble into still
water. So far as the hearing of each in
dividual is concerned, these waves move
in direct line from the cause of sound
to his ear, the impact being greatest in
the ear that is nearest to the source.
The effect, in this respect, of the total
loss of hearing in one ear was forcibly
| illustrated by the statement of patient
who consulted me recently. He lived in
wild portion of Tennessee, and spent
good deal of his spare time in the woods,
hunting squirrels, accompanied only by
his dog. An explosion suddenly destroy
ed the hearing of one ear. After this &C.
cident, while in the woods, he found that
he could hear his dog bark, but for the
life of him he could not locate the direc
ton Of the sound, even when quite close
to him, and he was compelled to take his
little boy along with him to find the dog.
After time persons learn to correct, to
limited extent, the errors in estimating
distances after loss of vision, but the
effect of the loss Of an ear upon the esti-
nation of the direction of sound is never
corrected"

life is more apparent than that loving ap-
probation and sympathy will Tighten and
alleviate all domestic trials and difficult
ties and heighten all domestic joys.
Co-responsively the same kind of con-
eiderate appropriateness is due from the
wife to the husband. Men are not SO de-
pendent as women on the strength that
comes from the love and cheer of home,
because they have the constant stimulus
of outward circumstances and the ambi-
lions and competitions of business to in
spire them. Yet few men are Indifferent
to or incapable of being cheered and
better fitted to meet the daily anxieties
and combining toll which business life i'm
poses, by words of loving appreciation
from wife and children. Conjugal love
is doubtless hardy plant, but too often
its root, strong and vital though it be, is
kept buried out OF sight and the blossoms
and beauty it might develop in bright
sunshine and atmosphere, are almost
wholly missed out OF the home.
But there is two-fold truth in regard
to appreciation and sympathy and their
expression that needs to be carefully
recognized; that is, that they must not
be too constantly drawn upon, and they
must meet with instant responsiveness
when they flow. Many husband re-
turning from his own days toll and find.
ing his wife burdened and weary with
the care OF house and family would be
glad to speak words of cheer and sympa-
thy, but they go unsaid because his wife
is " in temper" She has already such
a high appreciation of her own trials that
his mention of them tends only to aggra-
vate her and cause her to repulse as of
no value or Importance his expressions
of appreciation. No more blighting at.
mosphere is possible to the buds and
flowers of domestic love than this atmos-
phere of temper. The fountain of human
sympathy has tendency to stop flowing
when drawn upon too imperiously or too
frequently. Words of appreciation and
love should come frequently in the home
and they should always meet with in
slant response.

MORE EXTRACTS FROM CAR.
LYLES LETTE RS.

There is a pleasant surprise in some
earlier letters of Thomas Carlyle. They
are furnished by his niece and edited by
Professor Norton. A good deal of the
sand seems 20 be cut from under Froude.
OF the letters to and from Miss Welsh
Carlyle wrote: "My strict command now
is, Burn them if ever found Let no
third party read them; let no printing OF
them, or any part of them, be ever
thought OF by those who love me-"
This seems to have been pretty clear,
but Froude made another meaning out
Of some other manuscript.
Froude had it that Mrs Carlyle had
been intensely in love with Edward Irv-
ing. Here it is quoted that she wrote in
1924, two years before her marriage:
"What an idiot was for ever thinking
that man so estimableP'

WHY WE HAVE TWO EYES AND
TWO EARS.

DR.. Williams, in the st. Louis Medical
and Surgical Journal, says:
ITO give the body an evenly balanced
and symmetrical appearance is not the
only reason why it is provided with an
eye and an ear on each side. 1t is true
that the body is composed of two appar-
emily exactly similar halves, but the in
ternal organism does not carry out the
idea suggested by external appearances.
The true reason for the duplication of
the organs of vision and hearing lies in
the physical nature of light and air, and
Of things around us, and thus two eyes
and two ears become necessity for the
comfort and convenience OF living beings.
Two eyes are necessary for us to be able to
judge OF the distance Of objects, and two
ears to comprehend the direction from
which sound comes.

SWEET-MINDED WOMEN.

The influence of a sweet minded wo-
man on those around her is almost bound
less. 1t is to her that friends come in sea-
sons Of sickness and sorrow, for help and
comfort. One soothing touch Of her kind
ly hands works wonders in the feverish
child, a few words let fall from her lips in
the ear Of q sorrowing sister do much to
raise the load of grief that is bowling its
victim down to the dust in anguish. The
husband comes home worn out with the
pressure of business, and feeling irritable
with the world in general, but when he
enters the cosy sitting room and sees the
blaze of the bright fire, and meets his
wifes smiling face, he succumbs in q
moment to the soothing influences, which
act as the balm of Gilead to his wounded
spirit. We are all wearied with combat
ting with the realities of life. The rough
schoolboy flies in a rage from the taunts
of his companion, to find solace in the
mothers smile; the little one, full of grief
with its own large trouble, finds haven
of rest on its mothers breast; and so one
may go on with instances of the influence
a sweet-minded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected. Beauty
is an insignificant power when compared
with hers.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-01-08

The question whether she ever cared
anything about Carlyle is settled nicely
by this passage, written the year before
she married him:
81 owe you much; feelings and senti
ments that ennoble my character, that
give dignity, interest and enjoyment to
my life. In return I can only love you
and that 1 do from the bottom Of my
heart"
Froude says she soon saw her hus-
band was intensely selfish. She says:
think you nothing but what is noble
and wise. 1t is now five years since we
met five blessed years. During that Pc
riod my opinion of you has never waver-
ed, but you are deliberately rising to q
higher and higher degree of regard.
Here is found Carlyle's view OF Napo-
leon in 1922:
"O'Mearas work presents your favorite
under somewhat OF a new aspect. 1t has
increased my respect for Napoleon and
my indignation against his Bojs. Since
the days of Prometheus Vinc.us recol-
lect of no spectacle more moving and
sublime than that of this great man in
his dreary prison house, given over to
the very scum OF the species to be
tormented by every sort of indignity
which his heart most revolts against
captive, sick, despised, forsaken,-yet ris-
ing above it all by the stern force of his
own unconquerRble spirit, and hurting
back upon his mean oppressors the igno-
miny they strove to load him with. I de-
clare could almost love the man. His
native sense of honesty, the rude genuine
strength of his intellect, his lively fancy,
his sardonic humor must have rendered
him most original and interesting COM
panion. He might have been among the
first writer's of his age if he had not
chosen TO be the very first conqueror
of any age Nor is this gigantic charac-
ter without his touches of human affec-
tion-his simple attachments, his little
tastes and kindly predictions - which
enhance the respect of meaner mortals
by uniting it with their love. I do
not even believe him to have been a very
wicked man. Mrs. Buller likes Napoleon
even better than you do made pilgrim
age to hls grave, stole sprigs Of willow
from it, etc., and called him the greatest
of men in the presence of Mr.. Croker
himself"
